The Muslim Brotherhood in a Post-Mubarak Egypt

"The Muslim Brotherhood (known in Arabic as al-Ikhwan al-Muslimeen) is Egypt's oldest and largest Islamist organization. Founded in 1928 by Hasan al-Banna, it is widely considered the world's most influential Islamist organization, with numerous branches and affiliates". -Jayshree Bajoria, Senior Staff Writer for The Council of Foreign Relations


Now that Mubarak is out of power, what does the future hold for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt?  How will this affect Egypt's relationship with the United States and Europe?  Now that democratic elections are underway in Egypt, how will the relatively moderate Muslim Organization fair?

Below is a video of Ed Husain, senior fellow at The Council on Foreign Relations, discussing the Muslim Brotherhood's role in the "new Egypt".



Here is a link to The Council on Foreign Relations' website providing a comprehensive overview of the history of the Muslim Brotherhood.

In addition here is an informative piece on the Brotherhood's role in the revolution from PBS Frontline

Watch the full episode. See more FRONTLINE.
